i agree totally. i fish the snohomish system and haven't seen or heard of all that many fish being taken. the numbers have are slowly picking up but not what it should be. and from what i have heard the bulk of the fish are hatchery with the occassional wild fish mixed in. i read the article in the herald today. real curios as to how the wdfw knows that the 800 natives for the snohomish have been caught. the fish checker can't be everywhere. i think the numbers are low as they have been for the last couple years.
